An Insane Realization.

By Anonymous -
600 people. 12 course meal. Melodious music. Cool environment. Nice dim lighting. A classic Indian Wedding setup. A place where people literally lose their identity and become this big blob of a thing that we call a Family. Believe me when I say, Indian weddings are one of the best places you can ever be present to. It's like when you are travelling by an aeroplane. When some turbulence gets in, no matter who is sitting next to you, you hold their hands, the only touch of humanity 7000 metres up in the air. That's exactly what you see in a wedding. People getting back to their human nature, the basic nature of nurturing each other.
   I have always been  sort of a recluse in weddings. I have this big inferiority complex which I try to hide by using humor, much like Chandler in FRIENDS. Lately, I have been using humor as a defence mechanism at all places I go.( And I am pretty sure that I am not good at making people laugh either. :). But there are 3 striking things that I figured out for myself today.
1. It's not humor if it's at the expense of someone else's integrity.
2. A man who can control his own Adrenaline Rush can control ANYTHING in the world.
3. Tiger Zinda Hai is not that good a movie. :) (See? Using humor(I guess) to make this post more tolerable.


I really have so many more expansions on these thoughts but as usual, type karna jaan pe aa raha hai.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.

Adversity spawns Greatness

By Anonymous -
Thanks to the affluent society that exists today, our generation of kids are running behind inadvertant things on internet. We care more about our fb posts, whatsapp statuses, insta stories than about big real life issues. Thats leads to us being very dissatisfied with what we have. I came across an interesting piece of literature today. Its called Missing Tile Syndrome. All humans have a tendency to look at what we dont have. Maybe evolutionarily speaking, it is important to look at what we are missing from our life. But in today's world where almost al of our basic neccesities are fulfilled,we tend to find more of those missing tiles. And maybe thats why we dont live to the greatness we aspire to be. Because our generation knows no adversity. All we know is finding those missing tiles so much that we get the missing tiles syndrome. People who really have missing tiles in their lives have thus, a greater shot at achieving greatness than us. Think of kids with homologous Sickle c...

The Commitments

By -
There's this thing about Commitments.  They are known as commitments because they dont have any expiry date. What bothers me most is lack of people's courage to commit to something. Its something like  a give or take thing. You commit to something, you deserve a commitment in back. But its not always the perfect choice. Commiting to something is completely the individual choice, but what keeps me intriguing is: If someone is Commiting you something, do we have the moral responsibility to commit the same thing back? Or was it just his own choice to commit and that shouldn't mean any compelling behavior on the receiving party? This may sound insane or completely nonsense but thats what our life is all about...Give or take.

The Umbrella of Happiness

By -
We are not constantly under this hypothetical umbrella. At times, there are things which throw the whole world under this umbrella like this New Year while at other some things throw us out of the umbrella. The point is: We can never stay under this umbrella constantly.  We have to get out of it in order to enjoy our stay under it more. Sometime, We have to move out and get drenched in the sorrow pouring out of the umbrella and sometimes, life throws you out forcefully. What we need to realize that we arent going to be kept drenched out all the time. We will get under the umbrella someday. Today its their day, who knows tomorrow will be yours. Keep hoping and keep on striving to get under the umbrella. Adieu.
